So, say you had a bet with a good friend. You bet him money that bringing a girl flowers and her favorite food completely at random would get him a date with said girl. Say he countered by saying no it wouldn't, and the wager was a small amount of money. Say you won the bet and now your friend and this girl are happily living together and all that fun.


Clearly, this means your friend owes you money, which he pays.

But, for the sake of this scenario, say you had a really good inside source. Another awesome friend of yours whose instincts about people and situations are never wrong and practically border on precognitive/premonitions.

Is it fair to keep the money?

Me, personally? I don't think it is. In fact, I'm almost uncomfortable keeping it, so now I keep trying to return it, but my friend insists I won and keeps trying to give the money back.

In case you can't tell, I'm asking for a friend, and that friend is me.

Currently, I'm in possession of that money and I could use some help getting it back to my friend. I can't bring it to him personally, he'd see that coming a mile away and I'd never get away with it. But, if I had someone drop it off for me somehow or get it to him in some way, it's less likely he'll know what was going on until it was too late and he discovered the money.


Essentially; this whole TLDR to ask someone to help with a prank that's been going on for months.


Thanks in advance!

[When the feed switches on, a woman's face appears--one that might be called beautiful by human standards, delicate features framed by soft gold hair and full lips, currently pursed in a thoughtful little pout. Her dark eyes are briefly off center while she finishes switching on her phone--whups! She's recording.

Immediately, her smile turns dazzling--as well as genuinely friendly, there's precious little insincerity in that radiant expression. Holding the phone at length with the practice of one used to technology, thankfully, she offers the network a cheerful little wave of one perfectly manicured hand, just a little bit at odds with the faded Aerosmith t-shirt and cutoffs she's wearing.]

Hi, all! My name is Anne--and I'm new. Don't worry, I paid close attention to that lovely little hologram that greeted me when I woke up. That's a really good idea, you know? It's so convenient! [She laughs a little with a sheepish shrug.] This isn't my first rodeo--it's just the first time I ended up somewhere I didn't choose to go.

Anyway. [She licks her lips, then huffs out a little sigh.] So, my main reason for the message is networking. [She shifts the camera with a little flourish of her free hand, showing she's in her assigned room in the Common Space.] Got my new digs, but honestly? I was done with dorm life after UCLA. I need work, and I prefer to get it through personal recommendation--always the best way. Now I do have some experience in publishing and modeling, but the first bit of interdimensional hopping I did, I worked as a stripper.

[Like you do.]

I even owned my own club, but suffice to say I'll be starting over here, won't I? Can anyone offer me opinions on the adult entertainment scene? Oh, I'm checking the classifieds, too, but as I said: if you've worked somewhere and it sucks, you'll tell a girl, right?

[She pauses to blow a little kiss at the camera.]

Thanks in advance, lovelies! [She moves to end the feed, but then stops abruptly, as if having forgotten something.]

Oh, and you New Dodge people? Hit me up, we should chat. I know you're here, and if I have to hunt you down? You're buying when we go for coffee.

[With another little wave, she disconnects the feed.]

[ Those videos people put on YouTube and such where someone's pet has taken a camera and all of the animals adventures are recorded while the pet parent chases the pet down for the stolen device? They're totally a thing Peter Parker never thought he'd experience, but here he is, barely showing up in the background while his microraptor runs through a park, the device held in her claws as she runs through tall grass, occasionally stopping to look around, scent the air, peer intently into the camera before barking and hissing and continuing on, just out of peter's grasp. ]

Clever Girl! No! Drop it! I don't have the money to replace that if you break it!

[ Clever Girl stops long enough to look at Peter, tilting her head and clicking her jaws slightly before she snorts, probably even laughs and continues on. How Peter finally manages to catch her, no one can say for sure, but Clever Girl isn't easily distracted. Except for food. ]

Clever Girl! Look!

[ The dinosaur turns, watching Peter warily while Peter is somewhat shown looking mildly frazzled but otherwise amused and kind of out of breath. He's holding something small. Something possibly edible and when Clever Girl gets close enough, he drops the piece of food. She drops the device and as she runs over to eat, Peter picks up the device to talk. ]


Sorry about that, everyone. She's been trying to get this thing for the past couple days. I must have blinked for too long, or something.

[ An inhale and an exhale as he reaches up to fix his hair before giving the camera a wave. ]

Hi. I'm Peter Parker. I just arrived a few days ago. You don't need to give me the run-down. The holographic lady already did, and I ran into one of my best friends from another universe. Get a job, get a place to stay. I'm halfway there.

[ There's a sound from Clever Girl and Peter looks off-screen at the vibrantly green and blue animal before picking her up and holding her in view. ]

This is Clever Girl. If you understand that reference, you're already awesome. She's a troublemaker, but...think somewhere along the lines of a golden retriever puppy. It's all play, and she doesn't bite or scratch.

[ Clever Girl headbutts Peter's chin affectionately and Peter sets her down, addressing the device again. ]

I actually don't have any questions or anything. I just wanted to introduce myself and if, on the off chance anyone from my universe is here and recognizes me, please say hi. Or even from the universe I was in before. That'd be good, too.

[ A smile, another wave and his feed shuts off. ]

WHY: Because!

( Prompts )

It's Mother's Day tomorrow! Back home, that was a day when we honored our mothers. And the other influential women in our lives. I think it's a really nice holiday, so wanted to share it with everyone!

But I know a lot of us don't have our mothers or cool lady mentors here... So I thought, why don't we talk about them? And spread some love for them! Everyone, please tell me about your mothers and lovely women friends! My mother's name is Horie, and she's the beeest! She raised me to be a kind and thoughtful girl, and showed me that girls can be strong leaders! I love Mama soooo much!

[But her mother doesn't love her. What Satou is really fishing for right now are stories of what a mother should be like. And people to talk positively about her own mother too. If she says she loves her mother enough, maybe she'll really stop feeling so bitter and betrayed.]

[ action - Various Cities / Ends at Holodeck(Nova) ]
[Satou can be found around town on Saturday and Sunday, doing a bit of shopping. In particular, she's buying flower bouquets to hand out to a few ladies she admires in Genessia *cough Hikaru cough* Occasionally, she pauses randomly to watch the civilian families walk by.

By the end of the day, she's finds herself back at the Holodeck. Satou looks between her options: She could go and train her magic, becoming stronger and more like the perfect weapon her mother created her to be... or she could "sin" and goof off with the Fantasy RPG.]

... Would that be okay? She doesn't have to know. [Satou sighs.] She would be happy if I had fun on Mother's Day, right..? Though... That Mama was just a lie, huh...? 

[Realizing she just said something AWFUL about her mother, Satou smushes her cheeks and yells in public.] Noooo! Don't say that, you braaaat! Brat, brat, braaaat--- [Oh right, she's in public. Hanging her head in shame now. N-No one heard or saw that childish outburst, right?]

[ Hello Genessia, here is your friendly neighborhood Spiderman! ]

Uh... hey... so... let's say something really weird has happened to you. Like being suddenly in some guy's body... and there's stuff happening. Got any advice on how to handle that?

[ Awkward silence. Awkward. Especially awkward once she realizes the double entendre of the "stuff" but hey not like she can say that her new body is distinctly weird in ways that being male can't explain. What if he doesn't want people to know? ]

I kinda need the owner of this body to get in touch with me. For things about this body and also um... don't be weird and grope my body or I'll kick my own ass, alright?

Good day to you all! My name is All Might, a hero from another land.

In troubling times like these, I would like to formally extend a thank you for your hard work. Also, if you have witnessed before, I am capable of many feats of power and strength, and I spend my spare time doing charity and community work.

Thus being said, I am asking you all, collectively, to operate in your cities to continue to do what I have been doing; aiding the needy with their tasks. It can be as mundane as working the traffic to helping children get home safely.

Do not worry about my well being, I have a team looking after me. All I ask is your leave in order to operate freely as a professional community service worker who stops crimes.

Yours truly, All Might.

Now Private

Er, sorry, I forgot to lock it. Again.

In any case, can I operate in your cities?

[Video/Action/Around the city]
[The day Claude arrived in this new world, it was chilly and isn't spring yet. After he left the bay, he studied what the hologram said and briefly read the pamphlet. He then made it his way to the main city to wander around, lost. Completely lost.]

"Hello? Is this how the phone should work? If you can forgive me for asking as I'm not familiar in using technology. A smartphone? Is that what they call it? I'm familiar in using the rotary phone, but not this kind of phone. It says the year is 2018. I think that is not quite correct. It's suppose to be 1889 if I'm not mistaken..."

[Apparently computers and technology don't exist in the 19th century as they're not invented yet.]

"Well, nevermind. I don't think it's important. Hello, my name is Claude. Claude Faustus. If anyone can help me look for lodgings, I'll be grateful. A pub. An Inn. I'm not picky and open to suggestions."

[He's not a butler anymore, so he left it at that. While he remembered vividly what happened from the duel, this world is completely different than the previous one he left behind. Afterward, he left the phone on, waiting for messages. While he's not sure about obtaining a source of income, the commonspace will do for now until he gathered his bearings and learn his way to adjust in this world.]

[Action, Genessia City, Garden Park, evening after sundown]

[After he left the message on his phone, he went to the park. The sun is setting a deep hue of orange red, which is his favorite time of the day. He found an outdoor cafe, bought a cup of coffee, and order two plates of cakes.

One for him to eat, and the other for the small song birds of the park, which he calls to them. Being a demon, his aura has a strange effect to them, like a call, and attracting his favorite songbirds to him. The songbirds flew down to his table to perch on his shoulder, while few to peck to eat his cake and a fresh roll of bread for them to eat. Apparently, the second plate is for his birds, and they vary from finches, sparrows, warbler, just to name a few. Peeping, chirping, and having cake and bread. Lovely cheery songs for him to listen to.]

"Eat to your fill, there's plenty more where that came from."

[Video/Audio/Network]

"Hello, it's me again. I couldn't find a place to stay, so the commonspace will have to do for tonight. However, I cannot sleep. I think sleeping for me is going to be difficult. After all, I feel very lost."

[A pause.]

"What must one do here in Genessia? Start a new life? Do we simply shed our old one and start over? I don't think that will be easy and it's not so simple as starting over. Do I exist in this place? Please tell me and let me know...if this is all real."

[Is it all real? Of course, it's real, he figured. Where the injury was a blow to his chest, where his heart was stabbed by a huge sword, it was healed. It hurts. Everything hurts. Like Hell. A phantom pain that scorched into his black soul, a mark of his sin for him to remember for all of eternity. His question reveals he is rather disoriented and disconnected, and maybe, just maybe...an opening for help.]

WHO: Professor Sycamore and YOU!
WHERE: Genessia City and Nova City
WHEN: February 25 - March 3
WHAT: Pokemon 2018 event! Namely classes and Pokemon shenanigans
WARNINGS: Nothing so far. But will change if something happens.

[Video]

[As the video stands, you can see not only Professor Sycamore and his Garchomp, but also a small blue frog-like Pokemon sitting on the top of the Mach Pokemon.]

I guess that it’s that time of year again.

To all of the new residents of Genessia, I can guess you already received a strange creature from the building already. That there is a Pokemon, a creature that possesses powers of the elements such as fire, water, electricity, and many more. Back in my world, I’m one of the Pokemon Professors who researched these creatures and aid new trainers in their Pokemon journey.

So in order to help you all get along with your new Pokemon, I will set up some Pokemon classes on caring them at the Pokemon Center along with battling alongside your Pokemon in the Holodeck'd.

If you're interested, then contact me here and I'll see if we can able to clear up some schedule for a group or a 1-on-1 class.

Also, this is a bit off-topic, but if anyone has any new Pokemon, just contact me and I'll see if I can try to identify their typing. In fact, it may be a different typing from a Pokemon that I'm already familiar with.

[He did, in fact, had a black Ratatta that seemed to have other abilities than a normal one.]

( Pokemon Classes in Session! )

[The feed cuts on, even though there isn't much to see, except a cloud of smoke. The loud scraping of a window opening and then some stumbling and coughing and then the opening of a door and slamming behind him, at least in the hall there isn't any of the strangely coloured smoke.

Peter is coughing and gasping a little bit, looking pale like his senses are completely overloaded.]

Ah... [His voice is hoarse.]

Would anyone mind- [Cough.] if I borrowed their couch for the night?

[What science experiment gone wrong, who said he did that? Nothing out of the ordinary here at all. The feed cuts out.]

Attention, everyone!

Let me clarify a few things about our new citizen Spider-man, who seems to be confused about his own identity.

A) He:

X - Isn’t made of spiders
X - Doesn’t lay eggs
X - Doesn’t try to eat his partner’s head after sex
X - Doesn’t suck dry his prey

Conclusion: Not a spider

B) But he:

✔ Is coloured in red, blue and black
✔ Squeaks
✔ Can fly (kinda)

Conclusion: Parrot




So from now on, remember to address Mr. Parrot-man accurately.

Thank you!

[A masked hero on a rooftop is waving at the camera.]

Hi there! It's Spider-Man! I just wanted to wish everyone a good holiday season.

[He sounds like he's smiling.]

New year's is coming up, which is going to be really fun, but just remember to be safe! Don't go anywhere at night alone, okay?

I've got your back!

[He waves goodbye and turns off the feed.]

Who: Adela (enchantressofore) & OPEN
What: A new awakening in a city she had left before, at least before she had the chance to get acquainted with it. Hopefully, things will be different this time.
Where: The Bay (Genessia City), leading to elsewhere in Genessia City.
When: December 23rd, Early Afternoon

( It felt like she was waking from a dream. )

Due to circumstances beyond my control I may have to move out of my Genessia City apartment very shortly.

So tell me, where are the best places to stay? What city do you think is the best here?

Give me the pros and cons.

Amy wasn't really in a party mood. But a closed door invitation only party was good for her rep, and she could use the extra money a boost in popularity might bring, because they were an income shy on the house, now. And what finally got her moving was the thought that people popped up at Christmas. If Rory was going to reappear... it would be at a Christmas party.

So she went all out on decorations. She sent out the invitations and sent them through the Doctors. Well... River got hers directly, as would Arelene, because she didn't know if the Doctors knew her. As for Rose.... Her invitation would go through Eleven, with a note to him, that she is only invited because of what he had said, and that if Rose starts drama or trouble... she would be out on her rear in the snow.

After a talk with Ten, her plan for a dry party was changed to a very limited bar.

And on the 23rd, she'd be finishing up decorations in the afternoon, with the Eleven told that was when the party started, and told Ten and Twelve that they were welcome to help decorate at that time. Eleven, she knew, would be late, which was why he was given the earlier time.

So come noon, she was decorating a fake tree, painted Tardis blue, with bright silver tinsel and lights. The walls and hearth were already started, and the table was set with a place for everyone invited... and one for Rory, beside hers. Since it was a potluck, she didn't have to cook for everyone, thankfully. At least, not a full meal. So she made a few medium sized servings of things, enough for a few people. Yorkshire pudding, fish fingers and custard, a glazed spiral ham - which she will not admit to having bought pre-cooked and simply added honey and tossed it in the oven - and a banana coconut cream pie. That might have come from a mix. Hush. She made sure all the boxes were thrown out well before even the decorators were due.

she had the last of the food that needed to be cooked cooking, she had a christmas selection of music playing, and she was dancing around, getting everything ready.


Evening - Party time

After leaving someone else to finish the last bits, she went up to get showered and changed. And she looked splendid when she came down. Well, for a casual party, anyway. A trim snug green sweater, short skirt, long red scarf, black stockings, cute green flats. It was time to play host and start letting guests in, always looking for that one particular face every time she opened the door...
